annotate libpurple/cmds.h @ 23552:711773577380

Clean up some MSN SOAP stuff. I think soap2.[ch] have proven themselves since we've been using them all this time. Removed soap.[ch] and any references to them, since those were mostly in header files, without any actual use in code. Also, removed some SOAP templates from group.h which are now taken care of by contact.[ch].

/**
 * Register a new command with the core.
 *
 * The command will only happen if commands are enabled,
 * which is a UI pref. UIs don't have to support commands at all.
 *
 * @param cmd The command. This should be a UTF-8 (or ASCII) string, with no spaces
 *            or other white space.
 * @param args A string of characters describing to libpurple how to parse this
 *             command's arguments.  If what the user types doesn't match this
 *             pattern, libpurple will keep looking for another command, unless
 *             the flag #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_ALLOW_WRONG_ARGS is passed in @a f.
 *             This string should contain no whitespace, and use a single
 *             character for each argument.  The recognized characters are:
 *             <ul>
 *               <li><tt>'w'</tt>: Matches a single word.</li>
 *               <li><tt>'W'</tt>: Matches a single word, with formatting.</li>
 *               <li><tt>'s'</tt>: Matches the rest of the arguments after this
 *                                 point, as a single string.</li>
 *               <li><tt>'S'</tt>: Same as <tt>'s'</tt> but with formatting.</li>
 *             </ul>
 *             If args is the empty string, then the command accepts no arguments.
 *             The args passed to the callback @a func will be a @c NULL
 *             terminated array of @c NULL terminated strings, and will always
 *             match the number of arguments asked for, unless
 *             #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_ALLOW_WRONG_ARGS is passed.
 * @param p This is the priority. Higher priority commands will be run first,
 *          and usually the first command will stop any others from being
 *          called.
 * @param f Flags specifying various options about this command, combined with
 *          <tt>|</tt> (bitwise OR). You need to at least pass one of
 *          #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_IM or #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_CHAT (you may pass both) in
 *          order for the command to ever actually be called.
 * @param prpl_id If the #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_PRPL_ONLY flag is set, this is the id
 *                of the prpl to which the command applies (such as
 *                <tt>"prpl-msn"</tt>). If the flag is not set, this parameter
 *                is ignored; pass @c NULL (or a humourous string of your
 *                choice!).
 * @param func This is the function to call when someone enters this command.
 * @param helpstr a whitespace sensitive, UTF-8, HTML string describing how to
 *                use the command.  The preferred format of this string is the
 *                command's name, followed by a space and any arguments it
 *                accepts (if it takes any arguments, otherwise no space),
 *                followed by a colon, two spaces, and a description of the
 *                command in sentence form.  Do not include a slash before the
 *                command name.
 * @param data User defined data to pass to the #PurpleCmdFunc @a f.
 * @return A #PurpleCmdId, which is only used for calling
 *         #purple_cmd_unregister, or @a 0 on failure.
